 as created in April 2020 with the objectives of monitoring and understandi
 ng the nature of immunity arising from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The CITF Data
 bank emerged as the custodian of knowledge generated by researchers who pa
 rticipated in the CITF initiative. It contains over 150\,000 individual-le
 vel records deposited by over 70 CITF-supported studies that have met the 
 ethical and legal requirements to deposit data and have signed a data shar
 ing agreement (https://citfdatabank.ca). Hosted at SPGH with support from 
 CIHR\, the Databank is a source of highly curated and harmonized data for 
 research and a platform for research to improve data sharing (i.e.\, metas
 cience). In this presentation\, I will first describe the development and 
 current status of the CITF Databank\, including how to access data. I will
  then present examples of research using data from the Databank and exampl
 es of research on the process of data sharing.\n\n				Learning Objectives\n\n				A
 t the end of this talk\, attendees will be able to:\n\n				\n					Understand the ro
 le of the Covid-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF) and the CITF Databank in the
  context of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic\n					Be aware of epidemiolog
 ical research using serology\, including the types of data involved\, and 
 how they can be used for research\;\n					Be aware of the role of data sharing 
 in science and the potential to improve this process through research.\n				\n
 \n				Speaker Bio\n\n				David Buckeridge is a Professor in the School of Populati
 on and Global Health at McGill University\, the Chief Digital Health Offic
 er and the lead for Data Science and Digital Health Research at the MUHC.
